Exponential-backoff retries for the auto-mode classifier exist but the remote-config retry count defaults to 0.
What
Auto mode's model-choosing request can now be retried when it fails as unavailable, with exponential backoff starting at 2 seconds, capped at 10 seconds, plus 25% jitter. The retry count comes from remote config, is clamped to 0 through 10, and defaults to 0, so with no server value set the loop never runs and behaviour is unchanged.
